Wife is an enemy general
Chapter 32 Can I come in chapters?
001.
I don't know where Li Mu got the clothes. Although they are a bit old, they are women's clothes no matter how you look at them.
In the early morning, Zhong Xiuyuan sat on the bed, looking at the women's clothing on the bedside, he showed a bit of embarrassment and embarrassment, "What is this for?"
Li Mu raised his eyes and glanced at him, "You don't want to go with me, how can you go otherwise?"
Hearing this, Zhong Xiuyuan was surprised.
What Li Mu said was very reasonable, but he felt that this was clearly Li Mu's revenge!
Zhong Xiuyuan took the clothes and dragged them in his hands, and looked up. Li Mu was in a good mood right now, slapping his buttocks and walking out the door.Seeing that silent look, Zhong Xiuyuan gritted his teeth.
Gritting his teeth, Zhong Xiuyuan still put on the slightly old women's clothing when he set off.
After deciding to go to the pier, Li Mu took a few well-growing ducks down the mountain early the next morning to raise money for the trip.
In the early morning of the third day, the two bid farewell to Uncle Hong and the others.
It's a long way to get to the pier. If you walk there, it will take at least ten days, and it will take more than 20 days to go back and forth.It took a long time, so Li Mu spent some money to rent a skinny horse in the town.
Li Mu led the horse, and took his daughter-in-law, who was wearing a face scarf and wearing makeup, out of the small town, and walked a certain distance towards the pier. After waiting for no one around, Li Mu grabbed the rein and turned over, sat down Behind Zhong Xiuyuan.
Zhong Xiuyuan immediately sat up straight with his back stiff, and after Li Mu also came up, the postures of the two of them became a little ambiguous, his back almost completely resting on Li Mu's broad and thick chest.
As the horse moved forward with every step, the bodies of the two inevitably rubbed against each other, which made Zhong Xiuyuan blush and heartbeat.Afraid of being discovered by Li Mu behind him, Zhong Xiuyuan had no choice but to straighten the scarf on his face.
The journey was quite boring. There were not even teahouses on the road during the war. Fortunately, both of them had stayed in the military camp.
An old horse, two dry rations, a jug of water, two changes of clothes, and they set out on the road.
Five days later, the two stood outside a large town called Logs.
Log is a big town, located at the junction of the two Grand Canals, there are a lot of people and boats coming and going, fish and snakes are mixed here, it is a lively place.
Entering the town, it was different from the quietness and bleakness of the small town before them, but a hot and noisy voice rushed towards them.
On the quaint streets, the cries of hawkers, the voices of tourists, the sounds of inquiries, the smell of food and the playfulness of children, all of these gather here, making the air lively.
The street was crowded with people, and pedestrians came and went in an endless stream. After entering the town, the two of them were pushed and hugged by the crowd and walked forward.
Colorful flags were hung on the houses around the main street, waiters in restaurants, restaurants, and clothing stores stood at the door to solicit customers, and there was a long queue in front of small vendors selling meat and buns.
There was also the candied haws seller. He was accompanied by a group of little dolls. The little dolls begged their parents to buy a bunch, and said all kinds of coquettish things.
It's not that Li Mu has never seen crowded places, but they were all in military camps, and this is the first time he has seen such a situation.
After leading the horse and walking around the street with the flow of people, Li Mu finally stopped his curiosity.
Zhong Xiuyuan, who had been quietly staring at Li Mu from the very beginning, spoke at this moment. He suggested, "Let's find an inn to settle down, so as not to find a place to stay at night."
There are a lot of merchants coming and going in the log area every day, and the inns in the town are also very crowded. The purpose of their visit this time is to find business, so they also brought luggage, and they can find a place to put it so they can do things.
Li Mu nodded while leading the old horse, and walked towards the inn he had just seen.
They came in a hurry this time, and they didn't have much money on them, so Li Mu found a relatively remote inn.
On the way here, I slept in the haystacks for several nights, and now it is good to have a bed, not so particular.
Li Mu booked an inn, and asked the waiter to help tie the horse. The two of them went out after a simple meal at the inn, and walked towards the area where restaurants and restaurants gathered.
Li Mu's main goal is still those restaurants and restaurants with large sales volume, and the second choice is the retail market.
I had no experience before, but when I arrived for the first time, I had to choose a few companies that seemed to have a good business. When I chose not to be busy, I asked the waiter from the back door to ask about the situation.
For Li Mu and the others who wanted to sell things in, the store waiter's attitude was not particularly enthusiastic, and the few who were more talkative also mainly refused.
Li Mu's wild business is not safe, the shopkeeper is afraid, and the waiter is even more afraid of trouble.
After tossing back and forth for a whole day and failing to reach an agreement, the two had no choice but to walk to the inn when the lanterns were lit on the street.
"Don't be disappointed, this business matter cannot be resolved with just a few words." Zhong Xiuyuan saw that Li Mu was silent all the way back, so he couldn't help but comfort him.
Zhong Xiuyuan has never been involved in business matters, but since he can lead troops to fight, he has some opinions on these matters.
Li Mu nodded, he was not in a hurry, he was thinking about the attitudes of these shops on the way here.
It is not uncommon for him to be a random seller who suddenly comes to the door. It is because there are so many that the shopkeeper doesn't bother to pay attention.
While talking, the two of them had returned to the inn where they reserved the room before, and after telling the waiter to bring food up, Li Mu led Zhong Xiuyuan upstairs.
When approaching the door, Zhong Xiuyuan stopped in his tracks.
"What?" Li Mu, who had already entered the room, looked back at him suspiciously.
"Just one room?" Zhong Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback.
It's fine at Li Mu's house, but they also live together when they come out?
Zhong Xiuyuan naturally had no objection, he even hoped so, but if this was Li Mu's initiative, the meaning would be different.
"No?" Li Mu countered indifferently.
Zhong Xiuyuan was dumbfounded. Li Mu's indifferent question made him unable to utter the question full of anticipation that came to his lips.
Zhong Xiuyuan followed Li Mu into the house, and not long after, the shop waiter brought two dishes and one soup.
The taste was not good, but it was edible. The two of them simply ate and washed up before resting.
For the next two days, the two of them almost repeated the itinerary of the first day. They found some larger restaurants and restaurants in the town and asked about the ducks.
Because of the experience of the first day, Li Mu changed his approach on the second day. He no longer made a detour to talk to Xiao Er in the backyard, but went directly to the front door and went to the shopkeeper directly.
Talking with the shopkeeper is useful after all. Although the business has not yet been finalized, Li Mu has probably figured out some things from these people's mouths.
After two or three days, he has a rough idea of which stores sell better and which ones sell less, how the ducks are sold, which ones sell well and which ones don't.
After spending another half a day visiting the retail market, the two of them went back to the inn earlier while the sky was still dark.
Probably because they came back early today, so there were more people in the inn.
In the dining place in the front yard, a group of people who looked like merchants gathered around, talking about something, it was very lively.
Li Mu told the shop waiter to send some food up as usual, and he was about to go up, but Zhong Xiuyuan, who was at the side, stopped with a pale face after hearing what those people were talking about.
The younger brother of General Yuan Zhongxiuyuan joined the army in his brother's place and entered the camp.
Listening to the topics of speculation and discussion among those people, Zhong Xiuyuan's gaudyly painted face with a face scarf revealed a cold light.
His heart also gradually sank following the words of these people, becoming heavy, cold, and somewhat sad and desperate.
How long has it been?
It seems that it has been less than a month since he let Huo Shuang go, and Huo Shuang may not have had time to go back, but Yuan Guo has already sent his brother to the battlefield and to the camp, hahaha...
Although this was indeed within his expectation, this time was too fast!
I'm afraid that the matter of letting his brother go to the battlefield didn't happen after he was injured and died, but those people had calculated it from the beginning.
They have been preventing such a situation from happening, so they can send a substitute immediately after he disappears and has an accident.
Hahaha……
Yuan Guo, what a Yuan Guo, he is sworn to death with them! !
He, Zhong Xiuyuan, swore that he would never do anything for Yuan Guozai in this life!If he had the chance, he would kill Yuan Guo without leaving a piece of him behind. If he had the ability, he would definitely make everyone in Yuan Guo sink into the abyss forever!
Ten years, ten years, even if he has no credit, he has hard work.
But that group of people calculated his life and calculated his relatives, and even pushed his only remaining relatives to the battlefield of swords, swords, shadows and blood drinking immediately after his death, just to seek their own peace.
Hahaha……
The crazily surging hatred boiled recklessly in Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes, and the murderous intent like a blade ran around, causing those around him to look sideways, and also made his throat feel sweet, and a mouthful of blood overflowed.
Zhong Xiuyuan pursed his lips, swallowed the blood in his mouth with a light smile.
He turned around, followed Li Mu who was standing on the stairs, went upstairs and returned to his room.
After eating and washing, when the two lay side by side on the bed, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't feel sleepy.
He originally thought that he could stay by Li Mu's side for another ten days or a month, and continue to yearn for that warmth and happiness, but he didn't expect that it was time for him to leave so soon.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyuan's mind was full of Li Mu's face, Li Mu's expression when he was angry, Li Mu's appearance when he laughed, Li Mu's panic when he was chased by ducks, Li Mu took a branch to bully ducks through the fence the blah...
It would be great if life was just as it was at first sight.
Li Mu is just a man from the mountains, and he is just a desperate escape.If so, everything would be different now.
"What happened?"
Li Mu's voice sounded abruptly in the silence, breaking Zhong Xiuyuan's illusion of nothing happening, causing Zhong Xiuyuan to breathe out of rhythm.
Zhong Xiuyuan opened his mouth, but the bitterness in his throat made him speechless.
Li Mu did not urge, but waited quietly with his eyes closed.
After Huo Shuang came to find Zhong Xiuyuan some time ago, when Zhong Xiuyuan went back that night, he had a strong bloody smell on his body, and he, who had lived in the military camp all year round, noticed it immediately.
It's just that Zhong Xiuyuan didn't say anything, so he didn't ask.
After a while, Zhong Xiuyuan said, "I'm leaving."
This is the second time he said this sentence to Li Mu, the two times he said it, but the mood was different both times.
When he said it for the first time, he was more or less angry and annoyed that he had been cheated.Now this time, his heart is full of reluctance.
"What happened?" Li Mu still lay flat with his eyes closed, motionless.
Li Mu's questioning again caused Zhong Xiuyuan's complicated emotions to churn instantly, and his throat became more and more bitter.
Maybe it was the darkness that confused him, maybe it was Li Mu's active inquiry today that made him unable to hold on, and Zhong Xiuyuan, who was about to rot everything in his stomach, opened his mouth.
002.
From the original scenery of his family, to when he joined the army at the age of 13, and now.
Zhong Xiuyuan spoke in a mess, many things were thought of and said little by little, pieced together messily, talking about his father, talking about his mother, talking about his younger brother, his voice was slightly trembling.
His eyes were red, and he had to raise his hands to cover his face, so as to cover up his cowardice in the darkness.
A man does not flick his tears lightly. He shouldn't be so cowardly and sissy. He gritted his teeth and survived many life-and-death moments on the battlefield, but now just because the person who asked him that sentence was Li Mu, he gave up and gave up. I can't hold on.
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't know how long he had been talking, and by the time he finished what he wanted to say, it was already late at night.
The room was silent except for the breathing of the two of them.
Li Mu didn't make a sound, wondering if he was asleep.
After another long time, Zhong Xiuyuan, who had gradually calmed down after telling the story, spoke again, his voice was very soft, and the words were not so much for Li Mu as for himself, "I won't go there again Help Yuan Guo..."
After a short pause, he said again: "So if I'm still alive, can I come back?"
He and Li Mu were originally at odds with each other, Li Mu was willing to save him and take him in, he was already very grateful.So even if Li Mu rejected him, he wouldn't feel resentful because of it.
But the thought of it being possible made him feel heart-piercingly uncomfortable.
Li Mu didn't say a word, he knew the answer even if he wanted to.
Zhong Xiuyuan turned sideways, and silently curled himself into a small ball.
He would rather pretend that Li Mu was asleep, or that Li Mu hadn't heard.
"Ah."
Zhong Xiuyuan was taken aback.
He held his breath and waited for a moment, then turned over, facing Li Mu's direction.
It was late at night, the hazy moonlight was blocked out by the windows, and the only halo left in the room was not enough for Zhong Xiuyuan to see Li Mu's face clearly.
After waiting for a while, Zhong Xiuyuan became a little anxious.
He moved his body to lean towards Li Mu, and after getting close to Li Mu, he gently put his face on Li Mu's shoulder.
Li Mu didn't move, he breathed calmly, allowing him to approach and accepting his approach.
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't know what was wrong with him, and he didn't even know where his courage came from. Perhaps it was because of Li Mu's silence and acquiescence that he misunderstood.
In the darkness, he stretched out his hand and hugged Li Mu.
He buried his head in Li Mu's chest, and sucked in the breath of Li Mu's body, which gradually calmed his restless heart.
For him, Li Mu is the only antidote that can make him feel at ease in this vast world that does not treat him tenderly.
Li Mu made a movement, he turned over, facing Zhong Xiuyuan, he stretched out his arms to hug him back.
Feeling Li Mu's hand on his back, Zhong Xiuyuan, who closed his eyes and sucked in Li Mu's breath, had a sore nose and a burst of heat in his eye sockets.
He originally thought that Li Mu's response would make him excited and crazy, but it didn't.
Facing Li Mu's gentle and rare response, there is a touch of warmth and nostalgia in his heart. He doesn't care whether Li Mu likes him or not, he likes Li Mu, and this will not change.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help hugging him even tighter.
He poked his head out of Li Mu's arms, adjusted his position, then groped in the dark and kissed Li Mu's lips.
There is not too much love, some only warm touch, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't know what he wanted and what he wanted to do, he just hugged the person in his arms tightly, and kissed Li Mu's cheeks one after another. lip.
If this was the last night, he figured he could at least let it go this time.
The moment he noticed Li Mu's response, Zhong Xiuyuan's body stopped suddenly, and then he relaxed his body, allowing Li Mu to lead the kiss.
There was not too much ambiguity and provocation, the two just kissed each other lightly, feeling as if they were warming each other in the extremely cold snow, and there was only a warm breath left between them.
Zhong Xiuyuan hugged Li Mu, he used both hands and feet, he couldn't care about anything else, he just wanted to prolong this moment infinitely, even if it was just for a moment longer.
In the darkness, Li Mu hugged Zhong Xiuyuan who was hanging on his body.
In fact, after spending so much time with Zhong Xiuyuan, he no longer hated Zhong Xiuyuan, and now that he heard Zhong Xiuyuan's words, he even had no reason to hate him.
He and Zhong Xiuyuan were originally not the kind of opposing identities that insisted on life and death.
From the very beginning, what he hated was not so much Zhong Xiuyuan or Yuan Guo, but the battle itself.
During this battle, Zhong Xiuyuan led most of the battles, so after finding out that the person he married was Zhong Xiuyuan, he was more alert and cautious.
He originally thought that a general who can achieve such a level must be a man with deep thoughts, viciousness, and ruthlessness, but after spending so many days with Zhong Xiuyuan, Li Mu discovered that this person is not the kind of person who is extremely deep and cold-blooded A person who is ruthless and cruel, but is an extremely easy-to-understand person.
Everything is written on his face, in his eyes, angry, unhappy, being teased, liked, shy, everything about him can be seen through at a glance.
It is also because of this that he thinks this person is funny, so he always wants to bully and tease him.
Looking into this man's eyes, reading the man's thoughts that he thought he had hidden well, Li Mu, who originally only wanted to keep this man from going back to fight, gradually felt that it seemed good to live his life like this.
Living a boring and boring life in the mountains, if there is someone who can make me tease/teasing/playing once in a while, the days will no longer feel so boring.
Everything should be like this, he and this person should just be living together as a partner.
But now that he is holding the general who is wrapped around him in his arms, Li Mu is a little puzzled, why does he feel so reluctant when he hears this man who is so hoarse as if he is about to cry because of grievances? ?
Is it because everyone has experienced the suffering on the battlefield, so they understand the bitterness?Is it because the world treats him unfairly and cruelly, so I feel sympathy?Or is it that he is just as this person expected, and he is not really unmoved?
In the warm quilt, Li Mu hugged the person in his arms, and for a while he was a little confused.Originally, he just wanted to find someone to live with as a partner, so as to avoid the boring life in the mountains.
That night, the two of them hardly slept much, until the sun penetrated into the room, and the two of them gradually closed their eyes from sleepiness.
In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, the two woke up hungry one after the other.
When they met again, both of them were a little embarrassed.
Zhong Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed by his cowardice last night, that's not what a big man should do.Those words made him reveal his weakness and his heart, and made him feel as if he had been thoroughly seen by this person as if he had been ripped open.
Li Mu is fine, but he has to think more.
The most embarrassing thing was the red and swollen mouth of both of them.
When he went downstairs to eat, he was stared at by the waiter and other people for a long time, and then he covered his mouth and snickered, Zhong Xiuyuan stopped eating the steamed stuffed bun, and pulled his face towel to cover his face.
He pulled Li Mu again, and hurried out the door.
Knowing about his younger brother, Zhong Xiuyuan also started to get busy.He had to find a way to return to Yuan Guo, and then get in touch with Huo Shuang and the others.
Before Huo Shuang left, he had told Huo Shuang some ways to contact him. Huo Shuang should be returning to the barracks soon, and I don't know if he can get in touch.
Huo Shuang couldn't be in a hurry. His biggest difficulty now was how to cross the border and return to Yuan Country without disturbing anyone.
Zhong Xiuyuan was helpless, but Li Mu made progress.
When he visited almost all the restaurants and stores in the whole town, finally one shopkeeper let go and seemed to have a detailed talk with Li Mu.
Seeing this, Li Mu took the initiative to make an appointment with the shopkeeper when he was not busy.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He looks energetic, his eyes are full of light, and he seems to be a person who talks about business.
After sitting down in a quiet place on the second floor of the restaurant, Li Mu briefly explained his reason for coming and the situation, "...if the business can be settled, we can also provide quantitative supplies every month in the future."
The sales volume of a hotel is actually not big, and the number of ducks that can be bought in a month on July [-]/[-] is only a hundred or so.But this amount is enough for Li Mu today.
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, and tapped his fingers on the table lightly. Seeing his appearance, Li Mu knew that he was waiting for him to speak.
He thought for a while and then said, "Does the shopkeeper have any worries?"
Talk about business, but that's it. You make a condition, and it's our turn to talk about it. It's time to come back and forth until there is a result.
Li Mu also made a good plan to be suppressed when he came this time. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning, and there must not be so many good things that go smoothly in the beginning.
Li Mu's psychological training was useless, because the shopkeeper did not lower the price, but instead said: "We really need this duck, but this quantity..."
Usually, when buying these livestock in places like restaurants and hotels, it is impossible to buy them for a few months at a time. At most, you can buy them for half a month and keep them closed. It is impossible to buy hundreds of live animals and open a separate yard to feed them. .
Li Mu didn't point it out, he said, "How much do you need?"
The shopkeeper admired Li Mu's good manners very much, and raised his hand to compare the numbers.
Li Mujian frowned slightly, "Three hundred is a little bit reluctant, but more than 200 can be made up."
He only has fifty or sixty ducks, but there are many people in the village other than him who raise ducks. There are more than 100 ducks. A hundred is still more than a mistake.
After knowing that the shopkeeper wanted more than 300 ducks, Li Mu calmed down a lot.
He had inquired about this hotel before coming. There were only two branches in the town, and there was no third one.Buying [-] ducks at once is definitely not for the hotel business.
As for what to buy it for, that's out of his control. He only cares about earning his own money.
"More than 200... a bit small..." The shopkeeper pretended to hesitate, but he was obviously moved.
To buy ducks in such a large quantity, even if he went to the market to buy them, he would have to go to several places to get them all.And if he made such a big move, he would definitely be noticed, which he didn't want to see.
Knowing that the shopkeeper was interested, Li Mu was not in a hurry, the two of them sat and drank tea and chatted for a while, then bargained intentionally, and the matter was settled like this.
After confirming the handover time, the shopkeeper asked Li Mu to come over the next day to collect the deposit, and discuss the details of the handover.
After hearing these words from the shopkeeper, Li Mu was even more sure that this man didn't buy ducks for business, at least not for the business of eating in a restaurant.
When the appointed time came the next day, Li Mu went to the restaurant again.This time, as soon as Li Mucai entered the door, he was led to the second floor by the waiter in the shop, which was quite grand.
Li Muzheng was a little puzzled, and after pushing the door open, he saw an acquaintance.
The other party was also a little surprised when he saw Li Mu.
"It's you, it's interesting." Master Qin, who hadn't seen him for a long time, waved to Li Mu and asked Li Mu to sit down.
Li Mu had met Master Qin before, and it was from Master Qin that his pond was contracted.
That Master Qin was also dressed in dark blue brocade clothes today, looking a little rich, with a Mira Buddha-like smile on his face.
"Master Qin." Li Mu was neither humble nor overbearing.
"I heard that you have more than 200 ducks in your hand?" Master Qin cut to the point.
Li Mu nodded. Although he didn't have so many, it was enough to collect all the ducks in the village after he got the deposit back.And in this way, he can make a small profit from the middle.
"Okay, if it's you, then I can rest assured, then this matter is settled like this!" Master Qin waved his hand, and asked the shopkeeper standing next to him to take the deposit that Li Mu had prepared long ago.
Li Mu took the money, thanked Master Qin, and prepared to discuss the handover, but when Master Qin saw this, he smiled and asked, "Aren't you wondering why I bought so many ducks?"
"I only care about selling ducks." Li Mu was naturally curious, but he also knew that it was best not to ask about some things.
"Hahaha...he's quite thoughtful." Master Qin laughed more and more happily, but he didn't stop talking, "You know the recent war between the two countries, right?"
Seeing that Master Qin had something to say, Li Mu listened quietly.
"The two countries are at war, what do you say is the most valuable thing?"
During the war between the two countries, apart from food and weapons, the most valuable thing left is only one thing, "medicine?"
Listening to Li Mu's reply, Master Qin's eyes flashed with appreciation, "That's right, it's medicinal materials."
Li Mu was puzzled, he didn't understand why Master Qin said this to him, and at the same time he became a little defensive.
Master Qin saw Li Mu's precautions, so he pushed aside and said, "I have a way to get a batch of medicinal materials from Yuan Guo, are you interested in helping me?"
The moment he saw Li Mu, Master Qin had this thought.
During the war between the two countries, even if there was a way to cross the border, the road would still be extremely difficult and dangerous. Originally, he was going to ask the head of the bodyguard to help, but now Li Mu became the best choice.
To be able to come back alive after five or six years in the battlefield shows how powerful Li Mu is.The fact that he rented the pond in the past and now he can get all these businesses out in such a short period of time shows that he has courage.Now he is so sharp and smart again, which shows that he has a clear mind.
What's more important is that Li Mu has been on the battlefield. He knows how to deal with the situation when he encounters danger, so that he can be more secure for the team.
"You can pay me." Master Qin said with a smile.
He went in the name of a livestock dealer, and it seemed to be a small profit, but the value of the things he brought back was far more than the price of a few hundred ducks.
He has been involved in this business for more than a day or two, and the properties under his name are not limited to these two restaurants.Basically, as long as it is not intentional to make things difficult, he can afford the price Li Mu can afford.
"Thank you, Master Qin, for your kindness, but I refuse." Li Mu refused without much thought.
"Why?" Master Qin finally showed other emotions besides a smile.
"After leaving a place like that, I never want to go back." Li Mu still had the same expression on his face.
Master Qin was dumbfounded when he heard the words, then shook his head and laughed.
For this reason, he really couldn't convince Li Mu.
Just when Master Qin was about to give up, Zhong Xiuyuan who was standing next to Li Mu suddenly stepped forward and stood up, "I can go for him."
Both looked at him.
Zhong Xiuyuan took a deep breath and said, "I can protect your team to enter Yuan Kingdom."
Master Qin was a little surprised, he looked at Li Mu.Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan, but didn't speak.
"I am familiar with the territory of Yuan Country. Once you enter Yuan Country, I can protect your team from attack and reach your destination smoothly." Zhong Xiuyuan has this confidence, and he can still do this little thing.
"You are?" Master Qin asked.
"I escaped from the country of Yuan." Zhong Xiuyuan generously revealed his identity as a man. If he could follow these people to the country of Yuan, it would be inconvenient for him to remain as a woman along the way.
"Yuan Guoren?" Master Qin was surprised.
"I don't need a reward, as long as you can bring me into the Yuan Kingdom." Zhong Xiuyuan let out a murderous intent, which made Master Qin and the shopkeeper in the room pale.This is to prove that he has this strength.
After Zhong Xiuyuan finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room.
After a while, Master Qin said, "Go back first, I'll think about it."
Zhong Xiuyuan was a little anxious, but he also knew that it would not be a good thing for him to say more at this time, he clenched his fists, suppressing the urgency in his heart, and followed Li Mu to the door.
"General Zhong!"
Zhong Xiuyuan turned his head instinctively, and when he turned his head, he saw clearly that the people standing behind him were Master Qin and the shopkeeper, and his killing intent burst out instantly.
Feeling Zhong Xiuyuan's blatant killing intent, the smile on Master Qin's face could no longer hold back, "I'm just trying my luck..."
Seeing this, Li Mu closed the door again, and followed him back into the house.
If Zhong Xiuyuan's identity is exposed, it will be a big trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Mu looked at Master Qin with a bit of murderous look in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Master Qin quickly explained: "The young man who is familiar with the territory of Yuan Country and escaped from the disaster deliberately wore women's clothing to hide his identity. He was in a hurry to go back and didn't want to be paid. I just guessed randomly, but I didn't expect it to be true."
After recovering from the initial surprise, Master Qin slowly returned to his usual smiling appearance, and sat back facing the two people who showed murderous intent.
"I can take you across the border, but you have to ensure that my people can leave smoothly." Master Qin made a condition.
Listening to Master Qin's words, the two of them frowned, knowing Zhong Xiuyuan's identity and still willing to send him back, what is this Master Qin thinking about?
"Li Mu, are you from Daning?" Master Qin looked at Li Mu with a smile.
Li Mu nodded, he has been a little confused about what kind of person this Master Qin is.
In the small town back then, he had only met Master Qin once, and with a few casual words, he gave him the pond.The same thing happened with the duck, and he easily told him his purpose.
Looking at these two things together, if this master Qin is either very wise or stupid.
"Then let me ask you, do you think we will win this battle if General Zhong doesn't go back?" Master Qin asked an inexplicable question.
Li Mu had thought about this matter a long time ago, if Zhong Xiuyuan didn't go back to Daning, they would be able to win this battle. He had killed Zhong Xiuyuan as early as the first time they met.
Daning and Yuan Guo have been fighting for ten years, and both sides have already suffered losses. Even if Yuan Guo does not have Zhong Xiuyuan and Zhong Xiuyuan's younger brother, this battle cannot be easily won.
"It's been ten years now, maybe it will be the second decade, and the third decade." Master Qin said with a smile, "Unless the emperor of Daning changes, there may be a fourth decade." Year."
Master Qin's words can be described as treasonous, if they were spread, he would definitely be beheaded.
But in fact, this is the case.
The reason why Daning has persisted in fighting this battle for the past ten years is because the current Emperor of Daning had once been an envoy to Yuan State when he was still the crown prince. It must be slightly lower than the emperor of Yuan Guo.
In the main hall at that time, the emperor of Yuan Guo was in the first place, and as the prince of Daning, it was normal for him to be in a slightly lower position due to emotion and reason.
But this incident annoyed him, making him feel that Yuan Guo did it on purpose.
Yuan Guo is a small country, and Daning is a big country. In his opinion, Yuan Guo should respect him, and he should be equal to the leader of Yuan Guo.
If Yuan Guo did this, he was deceiving him, and he was contemptuous of Daning's national prestige.
Immediately after his mission ended, he returned to China, just like the first emperor suggested to start a war, but the first emperor refused.
In the second year, the first emperor died and he ascended the throne.
Perhaps it was because he had the ambition to annex Yuan Guoyi to show his hegemony, or maybe he really held grudges. The first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to send troops to attack Yuan Guo.
Yuan Guo was caught off guard and was easily breached. Everything went well, but Yuan Guo had Zhong Xiuyuan out.
When the war broke out, many officials in the DPRK asked him to give up attacking Yuan Guo at the very beginning, but he ignored them all.
In the fifth and sixth years, he pretended to agree to Yihe, but in the end he tricked and attacked the embassy led by Zhong Xiuyuan, which made the much-anticipated Yihe fall short.
In the next few years, Zhong Xiuyuan became more and more powerful, and the important officials spoke again, but he still refused to withdraw his troops.
There was no withdrawal at the beginning, but now it is impossible to withdraw troops.
He sent troops from the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and there was no result for ten years. Being suppressed by Zhong Xiuyuan is enough to be embarrassing. Don't you want him to be ridiculed for thousands of years?
So this battle must be fought!
Maybe the absurd thing of contempt for Guowei is just an excuse to cover up his ambition, or maybe he really holds grudges. In any case, Daning and Yuan Guo have fought for ten years because of him, and there will be no such thing as countless casualties in the past ten years. Fake.
In the case of Zhong Xiuyuan, the deeds of Yuan Guo and those people may indeed be chilling, but in this matter, Yuan Guo also suffered an unreasonable disaster.
"Leaving aside these forewords, just looking at the current situation, unless the Emperor Daning changes, or without this General Zhong, this battle will definitely become more and more fierce." Master Qin said, "This General Zhong disappeared in three months.
I don't know where Li Mu got the clothes. Although they are a bit old, they are women's clothes no matter how you look at them.
In the early morning, Zhong Xiuyuan sat on the bed, looking at the women's clothing on the bedside, he showed a bit of embarrassment and embarrassment, "What is this for?"
Li Mu raised his eyes and glanced at him, "You don't want to go with me, how can you go otherwise?"
Hearing this, Zhong Xiuyuan was surprised.
What Li Mu said was very reasonable, but he felt that this was clearly Li Mu's revenge!
Zhong Xiuyuan took the clothes and dragged them in his hands, and looked up. Li Mu was in a good mood right now, slapping his buttocks and walking out the door.Seeing that silent look, Zhong Xiuyuan gritted his teeth.
Gritting his teeth, Zhong Xiuyuan still put on the slightly old women's clothing when he set off.
After deciding to go to the pier, Li Mu took a few well-growing ducks down the mountain early the next morning to raise money for the trip.
In the early morning of the third day, the two bid farewell to Uncle Hong and the others.
It's a long way to get to the pier. If you walk there, it will take at least ten days, and it will take more than 20 days to go back and forth.It took a long time, so Li Mu spent some money to rent a skinny horse in the town.
Li Mu led the horse, and took his daughter-in-law, who was wearing a face scarf and wearing makeup, out of the small town, and walked a certain distance towards the pier. After waiting for no one around, Li Mu grabbed the rein and turned over, sat down Behind Zhong Xiuyuan.
Zhong Xiuyuan immediately sat up straight with his back stiff, and after Li Mu also came up, the postures of the two of them became a little ambiguous, his back almost completely resting on Li Mu's broad and thick chest.
As the horse moved forward with every step, the bodies of the two inevitably rubbed against each other, which made Zhong Xiuyuan blush and heartbeat.Afraid of being discovered by Li Mu behind him, Zhong Xiuyuan had no choice but to straighten the scarf on his face.
The journey was quite boring. There were not even teahouses on the road during the war. Fortunately, both of them had stayed in the military camp.
An old horse, two dry rations, a jug of water, two changes of clothes, and they set out on the road.
Five days later, the two stood outside a large town called Logs.
Log is a big town, located at the junction of the two Grand Canals, there are a lot of people and boats coming and going, fish and snakes are mixed here, it is a lively place.
Entering the town, it was different from the quietness and bleakness of the small town before them, but a hot and noisy voice rushed towards them.
On the quaint streets, the cries of hawkers, the voices of tourists, the sounds of inquiries, the smell of food and the playfulness of children, all of these gather here, making the air lively.
The street was crowded with people, and pedestrians came and went in an endless stream. After entering the town, the two of them were pushed and hugged by the crowd and walked forward.
Colorful flags were hung on the houses around the main street, waiters in restaurants, restaurants, and clothing stores stood at the door to solicit customers, and there was a long queue in front of small vendors selling meat and buns.
There was also the candied haws seller. He was accompanied by a group of little dolls. The little dolls begged their parents to buy a bunch, and said all kinds of coquettish things.
It's not that Li Mu has never seen crowded places, but they were all in military camps, and this is the first time he has seen such a situation.
After leading the horse and walking around the street with the flow of people, Li Mu finally stopped his curiosity.
Zhong Xiuyuan, who had been quietly staring at Li Mu from the very beginning, spoke at this moment. He suggested, "Let's find an inn to settle down, so as not to find a place to stay at night."
There are a lot of merchants coming and going in the log area every day, and the inns in the town are also very crowded. The purpose of their visit this time is to find business, so they also brought luggage, and they can find a place to put it so they can do things.
Li Mu nodded while leading the old horse, and walked towards the inn he had just seen.
They came in a hurry this time, and they didn't have much money on them, so Li Mu found a relatively remote inn.
On the way here, I slept in the haystacks for several nights, and now it is good to have a bed, not so particular.
Li Mu booked an inn, and asked the waiter to help tie the horse. The two of them went out after a simple meal at the inn, and walked towards the area where restaurants and restaurants gathered.
Li Mu's main goal is still those restaurants and restaurants with large sales volume, and the second choice is the retail market.
I had no experience before, but when I arrived for the first time, I had to choose a few companies that seemed to have a good business. When I chose not to be busy, I asked the waiter from the back door to ask about the situation.
For Li Mu and the others who wanted to sell things in, the store waiter's attitude was not particularly enthusiastic, and the few who were more talkative also mainly refused.
Li Mu's wild business is not safe, the shopkeeper is afraid, and the waiter is even more afraid of trouble.
After tossing back and forth for a whole day and failing to reach an agreement, the two had no choice but to walk to the inn when the lanterns were lit on the street.
"Don't be disappointed, this business matter cannot be resolved with just a few words." Zhong Xiuyuan saw that Li Mu was silent all the way back, so he couldn't help but comfort him.
Zhong Xiuyuan has never been involved in business matters, but since he can lead troops to fight, he has some opinions on these matters.
Li Mu nodded, he was not in a hurry, he was thinking about the attitudes of these shops on the way here.
It is not uncommon for him to be a random seller who suddenly comes to the door. It is because there are so many that the shopkeeper doesn't bother to pay attention.
While talking, the two of them had returned to the inn where they reserved the room before, and after telling the waiter to bring food up, Li Mu led Zhong Xiuyuan upstairs.
When approaching the door, Zhong Xiuyuan stopped in his tracks.
"What?" Li Mu, who had already entered the room, looked back at him suspiciously.
"Just one room?" Zhong Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback.
It's fine at Li Mu's house, but they also live together when they come out?
Zhong Xiuyuan naturally had no objection, he even hoped so, but if this was Li Mu's initiative, the meaning would be different.
"No?" Li Mu countered indifferently.
Zhong Xiuyuan was dumbfounded. Li Mu's indifferent question made him unable to utter the question full of anticipation that came to his lips.
Zhong Xiuyuan followed Li Mu into the house, and not long after, the shop waiter brought two dishes and one soup.
The taste was not good, but it was edible. The two of them simply ate and washed up before resting.
For the next two days, the two of them almost repeated the itinerary of the first day. They found some larger restaurants and restaurants in the town and asked about the ducks.
Because of the experience of the first day, Li Mu changed his approach on the second day. He no longer made a detour to talk to Xiao Er in the backyard, but went directly to the front door and went to the shopkeeper directly.
Talking with the shopkeeper is useful after all. Although the business has not yet been finalized, Li Mu has probably figured out some things from these people's mouths.
After two or three days, he has a rough idea of which stores sell better and which ones sell less, how the ducks are sold, which ones sell well and which ones don't.
After spending another half a day visiting the retail market, the two of them went back to the inn earlier while the sky was still dark.
Probably because they came back early today, so there were more people in the inn.
In the dining place in the front yard, a group of people who looked like merchants gathered around, talking about something, it was very lively.
Li Mu told the shop waiter to send some food up as usual, and he was about to go up, but Zhong Xiuyuan, who was at the side, stopped with a pale face after hearing what those people were talking about.
The younger brother of General Yuan Zhongxiuyuan joined the army in his brother's place and entered the camp.
Listening to the topics of speculation and discussion among those people, Zhong Xiuyuan's gaudyly painted face with a face scarf revealed a cold light.
His heart also gradually sank following the words of these people, becoming heavy, cold, and somewhat sad and desperate.
How long has it been?
It seems that it has been less than a month since he let Huo Shuang go, and Huo Shuang may not have had time to go back, but Yuan Guo has already sent his brother to the battlefield and to the camp, hahaha...
Although this was indeed within his expectation, this time was too fast!
I'm afraid that the matter of letting his brother go to the battlefield didn't happen after he was injured and died, but those people had calculated it from the beginning.
They have been preventing such a situation from happening, so they can send a substitute immediately after he disappears and has an accident.
Hahaha……
Yuan Guo, what a Yuan Guo, he is sworn to death with them! !
He, Zhong Xiuyuan, swore that he would never do anything for Yuan Guozai in this life!If he had the chance, he would kill Yuan Guo without leaving a piece of him behind. If he had the ability, he would definitely make everyone in Yuan Guo sink into the abyss forever!
Ten years, ten years, even if he has no credit, he has hard work.
But that group of people calculated his life and calculated his relatives, and even pushed his only remaining relatives to the battlefield of swords, swords, shadows and blood drinking immediately after his death, just to seek their own peace.
Hahaha……
The crazily surging hatred boiled recklessly in Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes, and the murderous intent like a blade ran around, causing those around him to look sideways, and also made his throat feel sweet, and a mouthful of blood overflowed.
Zhong Xiuyuan pursed his lips, swallowed the blood in his mouth with a light smile.
He turned around, followed Li Mu who was standing on the stairs, went upstairs and returned to his room.
After eating and washing, when the two lay side by side on the bed, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't feel sleepy.
He originally thought that he could stay by Li Mu's side for another ten days or a month, and continue to yearn for that warmth and happiness, but he didn't expect that it was time for him to leave so soon.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyuan's mind was full of Li Mu's face, Li Mu's expression when he was angry, Li Mu's appearance when he laughed, Li Mu's panic when he was chased by ducks, Li Mu took a branch to bully ducks through the fence the blah...
It would be great if life was just as it was at first sight.
Li Mu is just a man from the mountains, and he is just a desperate escape.If so, everything would be different now.
"What happened?"
Li Mu's voice sounded abruptly in the silence, breaking Zhong Xiuyuan's illusion of nothing happening, causing Zhong Xiuyuan to breathe out of rhythm.
Zhong Xiuyuan opened his mouth, but the bitterness in his throat made him speechless.
Li Mu did not urge, but waited quietly with his eyes closed.
After Huo Shuang came to find Zhong Xiuyuan some time ago, when Zhong Xiuyuan went back that night, he had a strong bloody smell on his body, and he, who had lived in the military camp all year round, noticed it immediately.
It's just that Zhong Xiuyuan didn't say anything, so he didn't ask.
After a while, Zhong Xiuyuan said, "I'm leaving."
This is the second time he said this sentence to Li Mu, the two times he said it, but the mood was different both times.
When he said it for the first time, he was more or less angry and annoyed that he had been cheated.Now this time, his heart is full of reluctance.
"What happened?" Li Mu still lay flat with his eyes closed, motionless.
Li Mu's questioning again caused Zhong Xiuyuan's complicated emotions to churn instantly, and his throat became more and more bitter.
Maybe it was the darkness that confused him, maybe it was Li Mu's active inquiry today that made him unable to hold on, and Zhong Xiuyuan, who was about to rot everything in his stomach, opened his mouth.
002.
From the original scenery of his family, to when he joined the army at the age of 13, and now.
Zhong Xiuyuan spoke in a mess, many things were thought of and said little by little, pieced together messily, talking about his father, talking about his mother, talking about his younger brother, his voice was slightly trembling.
His eyes were red, and he had to raise his hands to cover his face, so as to cover up his cowardice in the darkness.
A man does not flick his tears lightly. He shouldn't be so cowardly and sissy. He gritted his teeth and survived many life-and-death moments on the battlefield, but now just because the person who asked him that sentence was Li Mu, he gave up and gave up. I can't hold on.
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't know how long he had been talking, and by the time he finished what he wanted to say, it was already late at night.
The room was silent except for the breathing of the two of them.
Li Mu didn't make a sound, wondering if he was asleep.
After another long time, Zhong Xiuyuan, who had gradually calmed down after telling the story, spoke again, his voice was very soft, and the words were not so much for Li Mu as for himself, "I won't go there again Help Yuan Guo..."
After a short pause, he said again: "So if I'm still alive, can I come back?"
He and Li Mu were originally at odds with each other, Li Mu was willing to save him and take him in, he was already very grateful.So even if Li Mu rejected him, he wouldn't feel resentful because of it.
But the thought of it being possible made him feel heart-piercingly uncomfortable.
Li Mu didn't say a word, he knew the answer even if he wanted to.
Zhong Xiuyuan turned sideways, and silently curled himself into a small ball.
He would rather pretend that Li Mu was asleep, or that Li Mu hadn't heard.
"Ah."
Zhong Xiuyuan was taken aback.
He held his breath and waited for a moment, then turned over, facing Li Mu's direction.
It was late at night, the hazy moonlight was blocked out by the windows, and the only halo left in the room was not enough for Zhong Xiuyuan to see Li Mu's face clearly.
After waiting for a while, Zhong Xiuyuan became a little anxious.
He moved his body to lean towards Li Mu, and after getting close to Li Mu, he gently put his face on Li Mu's shoulder.
Li Mu didn't move, he breathed calmly, allowing him to approach and accepting his approach.
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't know what was wrong with him, and he didn't even know where his courage came from. Perhaps it was because of Li Mu's silence and acquiescence that he misunderstood.
In the darkness, he stretched out his hand and hugged Li Mu.
He buried his head in Li Mu's chest, and sucked in the breath of Li Mu's body, which gradually calmed his restless heart.
For him, Li Mu is the only antidote that can make him feel at ease in this vast world that does not treat him tenderly.
Li Mu made a movement, he turned over, facing Zhong Xiuyuan, he stretched out his arms to hug him back.
Feeling Li Mu's hand on his back, Zhong Xiuyuan, who closed his eyes and sucked in Li Mu's breath, had a sore nose and a burst of heat in his eye sockets.
He originally thought that Li Mu's response would make him excited and crazy, but it didn't.
Facing Li Mu's gentle and rare response, there is a touch of warmth and nostalgia in his heart. He doesn't care whether Li Mu likes him or not, he likes Li Mu, and this will not change.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help hugging him even tighter.
He poked his head out of Li Mu's arms, adjusted his position, then groped in the dark and kissed Li Mu's lips.
There is not too much love, some only warm touch, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't know what he wanted and what he wanted to do, he just hugged the person in his arms tightly, and kissed Li Mu's cheeks one after another. lip.
If this was the last night, he figured he could at least let it go this time.
The moment he noticed Li Mu's response, Zhong Xiuyuan's body stopped suddenly, and then he relaxed his body, allowing Li Mu to lead the kiss.
There was not too much ambiguity and provocation, the two just kissed each other lightly, feeling as if they were warming each other in the extremely cold snow, and there was only a warm breath left between them.
Zhong Xiuyuan hugged Li Mu, he used both hands and feet, he couldn't care about anything else, he just wanted to prolong this moment infinitely, even if it was just for a moment longer.
In the darkness, Li Mu hugged Zhong Xiuyuan who was hanging on his body.
In fact, after spending so much time with Zhong Xiuyuan, he no longer hated Zhong Xiuyuan, and now that he heard Zhong Xiuyuan's words, he even had no reason to hate him.
He and Zhong Xiuyuan were originally not the kind of opposing identities that insisted on life and death.
From the very beginning, what he hated was not so much Zhong Xiuyuan or Yuan Guo, but the battle itself.
During this battle, Zhong Xiuyuan led most of the battles, so after finding out that the person he married was Zhong Xiuyuan, he was more alert and cautious.
He originally thought that a general who can achieve such a level must be a man with deep thoughts, viciousness, and ruthlessness, but after spending so many days with Zhong Xiuyuan, Li Mu discovered that this person is not the kind of person who is extremely deep and cold-blooded A person who is ruthless and cruel, but is an extremely easy-to-understand person.
Everything is written on his face, in his eyes, angry, unhappy, being teased, liked, shy, everything about him can be seen through at a glance.
It is also because of this that he thinks this person is funny, so he always wants to bully and tease him.
Looking into this man's eyes, reading the man's thoughts that he thought he had hidden well, Li Mu, who originally only wanted to keep this man from going back to fight, gradually felt that it seemed good to live his life like this.
Living a boring and boring life in the mountains, if there is someone who can make me tease/teasing/playing once in a while, the days will no longer feel so boring.
Everything should be like this, he and this person should just be living together as a partner.
But now that he is holding the general who is wrapped around him in his arms, Li Mu is a little puzzled, why does he feel so reluctant when he hears this man who is so hoarse as if he is about to cry because of grievances? ?
Is it because everyone has experienced the suffering on the battlefield, so they understand the bitterness?Is it because the world treats him unfairly and cruelly, so I feel sympathy?Or is it that he is just as this person expected, and he is not really unmoved?
In the warm quilt, Li Mu hugged the person in his arms, and for a while he was a little confused.Originally, he just wanted to find someone to live with as a partner, so as to avoid the boring life in the mountains.
That night, the two of them hardly slept much, until the sun penetrated into the room, and the two of them gradually closed their eyes from sleepiness.
In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, the two woke up hungry one after the other.
When they met again, both of them were a little embarrassed.
Zhong Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed by his cowardice last night, that's not what a big man should do.Those words made him reveal his weakness and his heart, and made him feel as if he had been thoroughly seen by this person as if he had been ripped open.
Li Mu is fine, but he has to think more.
The most embarrassing thing was the red and swollen mouth of both of them.
When he went downstairs to eat, he was stared at by the waiter and other people for a long time, and then he covered his mouth and snickered, Zhong Xiuyuan stopped eating the steamed stuffed bun, and pulled his face towel to cover his face.
He pulled Li Mu again, and hurried out the door.
Knowing about his younger brother, Zhong Xiuyuan also started to get busy.He had to find a way to return to Yuan Guo, and then get in touch with Huo Shuang and the others.
Before Huo Shuang left, he had told Huo Shuang some ways to contact him. Huo Shuang should be returning to the barracks soon, and I don't know if he can get in touch.
Huo Shuang couldn't be in a hurry. His biggest difficulty now was how to cross the border and return to Yuan Country without disturbing anyone.
Zhong Xiuyuan was helpless, but Li Mu made progress.
When he visited almost all the restaurants and stores in the whole town, finally one shopkeeper let go and seemed to have a detailed talk with Li Mu.
Seeing this, Li Mu took the initiative to make an appointment with the shopkeeper when he was not busy.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He looks energetic, his eyes are full of light, and he seems to be a person who talks about business.
After sitting down in a quiet place on the second floor of the restaurant, Li Mu briefly explained his reason for coming and the situation, "...if the business can be settled, we can also provide quantitative supplies every month in the future."
The sales volume of a hotel is actually not big, and the number of ducks that can be bought in a month on July [-]/[-] is only a hundred or so.But this amount is enough for Li Mu today.
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, and tapped his fingers on the table lightly. Seeing his appearance, Li Mu knew that he was waiting for him to speak.
He thought for a while and then said, "Does the shopkeeper have any worries?"
Talk about business, but that's it. You make a condition, and it's our turn to talk about it. It's time to come back and forth until there is a result.
Li Mu also made a good plan to be suppressed when he came this time. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning, and there must not be so many good things that go smoothly in the beginning.
Li Mu's psychological training was useless, because the shopkeeper did not lower the price, but instead said: "We really need this duck, but this quantity..."
Usually, when buying these livestock in places like restaurants and hotels, it is impossible to buy them for a few months at a time. At most, you can buy them for half a month and keep them closed. It is impossible to buy hundreds of live animals and open a separate yard to feed them. .
Li Mu didn't point it out, he said, "How much do you need?"
The shopkeeper admired Li Mu's good manners very much, and raised his hand to compare the numbers.
Li Mujian frowned slightly, "Three hundred is a little bit reluctant, but more than 200 can be made up."
He only has fifty or sixty ducks, but there are many people in the village other than him who raise ducks. There are more than 100 ducks. A hundred is still more than a mistake.
After knowing that the shopkeeper wanted more than 300 ducks, Li Mu calmed down a lot.
He had inquired about this hotel before coming. There were only two branches in the town, and there was no third one.Buying [-] ducks at once is definitely not for the hotel business.
As for what to buy it for, that's out of his control. He only cares about earning his own money.
"More than 200... a bit small..." The shopkeeper pretended to hesitate, but he was obviously moved.
To buy ducks in such a large quantity, even if he went to the market to buy them, he would have to go to several places to get them all.And if he made such a big move, he would definitely be noticed, which he didn't want to see.
Knowing that the shopkeeper was interested, Li Mu was not in a hurry, the two of them sat and drank tea and chatted for a while, then bargained intentionally, and the matter was settled like this.
After confirming the handover time, the shopkeeper asked Li Mu to come over the next day to collect the deposit, and discuss the details of the handover.
After hearing these words from the shopkeeper, Li Mu was even more sure that this man didn't buy ducks for business, at least not for the business of eating in a restaurant.
When the appointed time came the next day, Li Mu went to the restaurant again.This time, as soon as Li Mucai entered the door, he was led to the second floor by the waiter in the shop, which was quite grand.
Li Muzheng was a little puzzled, and after pushing the door open, he saw an acquaintance.
The other party was also a little surprised when he saw Li Mu.
"It's you, it's interesting." Master Qin, who hadn't seen him for a long time, waved to Li Mu and asked Li Mu to sit down.
Li Mu had met Master Qin before, and it was from Master Qin that his pond was contracted.
That Master Qin was also dressed in dark blue brocade clothes today, looking a little rich, with a Mira Buddha-like smile on his face.
"Master Qin." Li Mu was neither humble nor overbearing.
"I heard that you have more than 200 ducks in your hand?" Master Qin cut to the point.
Li Mu nodded. Although he didn't have so many, it was enough to collect all the ducks in the village after he got the deposit back.And in this way, he can make a small profit from the middle.
"Okay, if it's you, then I can rest assured, then this matter is settled like this!" Master Qin waved his hand, and asked the shopkeeper standing next to him to take the deposit that Li Mu had prepared long ago.
Li Mu took the money, thanked Master Qin, and prepared to discuss the handover, but when Master Qin saw this, he smiled and asked, "Aren't you wondering why I bought so many ducks?"
"I only care about selling ducks." Li Mu was naturally curious, but he also knew that it was best not to ask about some things.
"Hahaha...he's quite thoughtful." Master Qin laughed more and more happily, but he didn't stop talking, "You know the recent war between the two countries, right?"
Seeing that Master Qin had something to say, Li Mu listened quietly.
"The two countries are at war, what do you say is the most valuable thing?"
During the war between the two countries, apart from food and weapons, the most valuable thing left is only one thing, "medicine?"
Listening to Li Mu's reply, Master Qin's eyes flashed with appreciation, "That's right, it's medicinal materials."
Li Mu was puzzled, he didn't understand why Master Qin said this to him, and at the same time he became a little defensive.
Master Qin saw Li Mu's precautions, so he pushed aside and said, "I have a way to get a batch of medicinal materials from Yuan Guo, are you interested in helping me?"
The moment he saw Li Mu, Master Qin had this thought.
During the war between the two countries, even if there was a way to cross the border, the road would still be extremely difficult and dangerous. Originally, he was going to ask the head of the bodyguard to help, but now Li Mu became the best choice.
To be able to come back alive after five or six years in the battlefield shows how powerful Li Mu is.The fact that he rented the pond in the past and now he can get all these businesses out in such a short period of time shows that he has courage.Now he is so sharp and smart again, which shows that he has a clear mind.
What's more important is that Li Mu has been on the battlefield. He knows how to deal with the situation when he encounters danger, so that he can be more secure for the team.
"You can pay me." Master Qin said with a smile.
He went in the name of a livestock dealer, and it seemed to be a small profit, but the value of the things he brought back was far more than the price of a few hundred ducks.
He has been involved in this business for more than a day or two, and the properties under his name are not limited to these two restaurants.Basically, as long as it is not intentional to make things difficult, he can afford the price Li Mu can afford.
"Thank you, Master Qin, for your kindness, but I refuse." Li Mu refused without much thought.
"Why?" Master Qin finally showed other emotions besides a smile.
"After leaving a place like that, I never want to go back." Li Mu still had the same expression on his face.
Master Qin was dumbfounded when he heard the words, then shook his head and laughed.
For this reason, he really couldn't convince Li Mu.
Just when Master Qin was about to give up, Zhong Xiuyuan who was standing next to Li Mu suddenly stepped forward and stood up, "I can go for him."
Both looked at him.
Zhong Xiuyuan took a deep breath and said, "I can protect your team to enter Yuan Kingdom."
Master Qin was a little surprised, he looked at Li Mu.Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan, but didn't speak.
"I am familiar with the territory of Yuan Country. Once you enter Yuan Country, I can protect your team from attack and reach your destination smoothly." Zhong Xiuyuan has this confidence, and he can still do this little thing.
"You are?" Master Qin asked.
"I escaped from the country of Yuan." Zhong Xiuyuan generously revealed his identity as a man. If he could follow these people to the country of Yuan, it would be inconvenient for him to remain as a woman along the way.
"Yuan Guoren?" Master Qin was surprised.
"I don't need a reward, as long as you can bring me into the Yuan Kingdom." Zhong Xiuyuan let out a murderous intent, which made Master Qin and the shopkeeper in the room pale.This is to prove that he has this strength.
After Zhong Xiuyuan finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room.
After a while, Master Qin said, "Go back first, I'll think about it."
Zhong Xiuyuan was a little anxious, but he also knew that it would not be a good thing for him to say more at this time, he clenched his fists, suppressing the urgency in his heart, and followed Li Mu to the door.
"General Zhong!"
Zhong Xiuyuan turned his head instinctively, and when he turned his head, he saw clearly that the people standing behind him were Master Qin and the shopkeeper, and his killing intent burst out instantly.
Feeling Zhong Xiuyuan's blatant killing intent, the smile on Master Qin's face could no longer hold back, "I'm just trying my luck..."
Seeing this, Li Mu closed the door again, and followed him back into the house.
If Zhong Xiuyuan's identity is exposed, it will be a big trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Mu looked at Master Qin with a bit of murderous look in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Master Qin quickly explained: "The young man who is familiar with the territory of Yuan Country and escaped from the disaster deliberately wore women's clothing to hide his identity. He was in a hurry to go back and didn't want to be paid. I just guessed randomly, but I didn't expect it to be true."
After recovering from the initial surprise, Master Qin slowly returned to his usual smiling appearance, and sat back facing the two people who showed murderous intent.
"I can take you across the border, but you have to ensure that my people can leave smoothly." Master Qin made a condition.
Listening to Master Qin's words, the two of them frowned, knowing Zhong Xiuyuan's identity and still willing to send him back, what is this Master Qin thinking about?
"Li Mu, are you from Daning?" Master Qin looked at Li Mu with a smile.
Li Mu nodded, he has been a little confused about what kind of person this Master Qin is.
In the small town back then, he had only met Master Qin once, and with a few casual words, he gave him the pond.The same thing happened with the duck, and he easily told him his purpose.
Looking at these two things together, if this master Qin is either very wise or stupid.
"Then let me ask you, do you think we will win this battle if General Zhong doesn't go back?" Master Qin asked an inexplicable question.
Li Mu had thought about this matter a long time ago, if Zhong Xiuyuan didn't go back to Daning, they would be able to win this battle. He had killed Zhong Xiuyuan as early as the first time they met.
Daning and Yuan Guo have been fighting for ten years, and both sides have already suffered losses. Even if Yuan Guo does not have Zhong Xiuyuan and Zhong Xiuyuan's younger brother, this battle cannot be easily won.
"It's been ten years now, maybe it will be the second decade, and the third decade." Master Qin said with a smile, "Unless the emperor of Daning changes, there may be a fourth decade." Year."
Master Qin's words can be described as treasonous, if they were spread, he would definitely be beheaded.
But in fact, this is the case.
The reason why Daning has persisted in fighting this battle for the past ten years is because the current Emperor of Daning had once been an envoy to Yuan State when he was still the crown prince. It must be slightly lower than the emperor of Yuan Guo.
In the main hall at that time, the emperor of Yuan Guo was in the first place, and as the prince of Daning, it was normal for him to be in a slightly lower position due to emotion and reason.
But this incident annoyed him, making him feel that Yuan Guo did it on purpose.
Yuan Guo is a small country, and Daning is a big country. In his opinion, Yuan Guo should respect him, and he should be equal to the leader of Yuan Guo.
If Yuan Guo did this, he was deceiving him, and he was contemptuous of Daning's national prestige.
Immediately after his mission ended, he returned to China, just like the first emperor suggested to start a war, but the first emperor refused.
In the second year, the first emperor died and he ascended the throne.
Perhaps it was because he had the ambition to annex Yuan Guoyi to show his hegemony, or maybe he really held grudges. The first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to send troops to attack Yuan Guo.
Yuan Guo was caught off guard and was easily breached. Everything went well, but Yuan Guo had Zhong Xiuyuan out.
When the war broke out, many officials in the DPRK asked him to give up attacking Yuan Guo at the very beginning, but he ignored them all.
In the fifth and sixth years, he pretended to agree to Yihe, but in the end he tricked and attacked the embassy led by Zhong Xiuyuan, which made the much-anticipated Yihe fall short.
In the next few years, Zhong Xiuyuan became more and more powerful, and the important officials spoke again, but he still refused to withdraw his troops.
There was no withdrawal at the beginning, but now it is impossible to withdraw troops.
He sent troops from the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and there was no result for ten years. Being suppressed by Zhong Xiuyuan is enough to be embarrassing. Don't you want him to be ridiculed for thousands of years?
So this battle must be fought!
Maybe the absurd thing of contempt for Guowei is just an excuse to cover up his ambition, or maybe he really holds grudges. In any case, Daning and Yuan Guo have fought for ten years because of him, and there will be no such thing as countless casualties in the past ten years. Fake.
In the case of Zhong Xiuyuan, the deeds of Yuan Guo and those people may indeed be chilling, but in this matter, Yuan Guo also suffered an unreasonable disaster.
"Leaving aside these forewords, just looking at the current situation, unless the Emperor Daning changes, or without this General Zhong, this battle will definitely become more and more fierce." Master Qin said, "This General Zhong disappeared in three months.
